Narcissists manipulate others using toxic ideas. In this podcast, we decode narcissists and how they operate, we expose and deconstruct toxic ideas, and we learn how to negotiate effectively with narcissists. And, last but not least, we learn to break the toxic patterns during and after relationships, disinfect mental wounds and heal, so we can have a happy life afterwards and limit the damage narcissists inflict upon us.

108. How I Deprogramed Someone After A Toxic Relationship
She had had a bad breakup after 20 years with someone, 15 of which he had been obnoxious and presented symptoms of having a personality disorder. And she could not wrap her head around this. But I figured out how to reframe the situation for her to get it. She laughed, snapped out of the hypnosis, and FINALLY turned the page. This is the story.

107. Narcissists' Mesh Network of Lies - and Narrative Collapse
Narcissists rely on lies that are propped up by other lies. Why? It makes it easier for them to manipulate us. It is hard to believe one person can lie so much. But also, by relying on a "mesh network", it means that even if one lie is exposed, the network of lies still resists. And we are more likely to just shrug off anomaly after anomaly.
Until we realise what is happening, the whole network crashes and we experience a "narrative collapse", where our whole world view seems crazy.
Learn to recognise this, and make yourself less vulnerable to their manipulation. -
106. 8 Signs We Have Been Brainwashed
Narcissists and cults, whether spiritual or political, brainwash people in order to control them. Fortunately, there are certain tells that we have been brainwashed. And once we are aware of these, it becomes less hard to deprogram ourselves and start to think clearly again. This applies to narcissists in romantic relationships, at work, in NGOs, political movements, and in "spiritual groups".

105. Do NOT Read Between the Lines With Narcissists - Ask This Instead?
Narcissists lie, a lot. And for the lies to work, they rely (pun?) on us "reading between the lines". While this is a good idea with healthy people, it is a terrible idea with liars. So instead, when someone says something weird, you can ask this question: what do you mean?

104. This Drives Narcissists Nuts, Shuts Them Up (And Is Satisfying)
Narcissists count on us to politely fill the blanks. And they like to be obnoxious to trigger us. But what happens when we don't do what they want, and do this instead?

103. Early Warning Signs of A Narcissist (or A Jerk)
I share two stories of meeting people and they did something that was really off, signalling with high probability they might be narcissists. Or at least jerks and really unpleasant to be around. I share both stories and observations.

So helpful
This man explains things so smoothly and logically that gets right to the core of the problem . This podcast help me get past a narcissistic abusive relationship that I kept thinking was my problem (the problem of the narcissist). Btw now I listen to his podcast to go to sleep as he’s so soothing. Not because it’s boring. It’s not.
Brilliant!
Thank you for not producing a podcast repeating the same old rhetoric.
NEW FAVE
This is officially my all time favorite podcast about dealing with a narcissist. Game changer. Thanks for the best wisdom I have ever heard. I can listen to each episode over and over again… 35 years experience, but I have only been awakened over the last few years. Everything - I mean EVERYTHING - makes complete sense now. And thankfully, my sanity has been restored.
